A few complaints about the NieR Raid rewards on Part 3

[Kolsykol]

I think that calling it '' gender-locked madness '' is maybe taking it a bit too far lol, especially in FFXIV of all games.
I mean yeah some gear have differences between the gender ( the female gear tends to look five hundred times cooler imo ), but I don't really see the problem with that men and women do wear different clothes irl too.
And if anything even tho people tend to just complain that the female gear doesn't look like the male gear, the female gear is usually way more varied and diverse than the male gear.

She's pointing out that SQEX missed an opportunity here to put some really cool stuff in to get people excited about FFXIV as well as the Nier series, and that they failed to provide one of the main characters in another of SQEX's franchises the same courtesy that they gave the more popular (and more sexualized) character. Fans of the Nier franchise know both 2B and 9S; to the point that both characters are mentioned in the same sentence most of the time. The point she's making here is that she was excited to see how they were going to close this collaboration out and she (as well as other people) expected them to give both main characters of the franchise proper due; especially considering they are dropping Nier: Replicant's remaster on the 23rd. They didn't do that and she is letting them know her thoughts and asking them to do better in the future by adding content.

What does '' sexualization '' have to do with anything lol.
I dunno why people keep bringing that up like it's some kind of a jab and negative or something, what was even the point in bringing that up?
Especially when we just got Devola and Popola's attire, I mean then why didn't we get A2's or Kainé's mog instead?

I dunno people can dislike whatever they like but that doesn't make it bad or wrong, just saying that something is sexualized isn't a negative unless you already dislike it.
And I really don't think that has anything to do with what we got or didn't got.

Edit: You also gotta think about it a bit too from the pov of people who haven't played Nier Automata, 2B is a more iconic design and character and who you play as at first.
She also added more unique parts to the game too, 9S is just shorts and a shirt.
2B added way more unique and exciting parts to the game for mogging.

Again it's like I said above about female vs male gear, female gear is generally a lot more varied and diversify the gear more.
All things considered the overwhelming majority of gear is just basic pants and boots, so when we get something else it's a lot more fresh ( not to mention that male characters got it too which added a lot to them ).
9S isn't a bad design, but it'd be more of the same that we already have essentially.

One thing that I couldn't really understand is why the aiming set for males is a cape ripped apart and ragged, and females get something similar but in perfect state?!

It's because they're modeled after two separate characters in Nier Automata, the female version is modeled after Anemone who was the resistance leader and the male version after Jackass who was basically a quest giver NPC.
Jackass in the game is in the field so her attire is more worn out I guess.
Personally I much prefer the female version but it's just a preference but imo the male version looks too bulky and heavy for dps.
